The default site of a vanilla Zotonic install is now modelled after
a simple blog-style website, complete with an archive section,
keywords, navigation to previous and next posts, atom feeds and
comments.

Speed improvements

The Webmachine code was restructured to be more lean-and-mean,
yielding up to 20% more performance on page requests.

WebSockets support

When WebSockets is available in the browser, then it is used as a
replacement for the Comet long poll. Currently only Google Chrome
supports this feature but it is expected to arrive in other
browsers soon.

Admin updates

Support for editing a location (Google map picker), a new
collection type “query” was added for creating “saved searches”.

EUnit support

A start has been made to put the core functionality of Zotonic in
unit tests using the EUnit testing framework. As of yet, only a
small fraction of the code has been covered, but we’ll keep working
on increasing the code coverage of the tests.
